she wears the pants

Have you noticed how I'm always wearing pants these days?! In the past, I'd shunned trousers; being rather small in stature with an hourglassy figure, I decided I "couldn't" wear them. How stupid of me! I can't believe all the fun I've been missing out on. Nothing's more elegant than sharply tailored Katharine Hepburn-esque trousers; styled right, they just ooze Old Hollywood glamour. Very practical, as well, given how bitter cold Vermont is about to get. And most importantly of all, gals of yore loved them some pants too!

So much to love about this one...

("Eatmore". Saddle shoes. The tough girl's smirk. Best picture ever.)

(I totally have the saaaaame Elvis record as Natalie!!)

(They call him a "folk singer" on the liner notes which is sorta funny.)

Wacky Tacky, that picture's one of my faves too. Usually seeing vintage girls makes me vow to never wear a t-shirt again, but this lady is actually making me want to go out and buy a Mickey t of my own, haha!

The Snow Child, in addition to the obvious (but perhaps pricey, depending on your region) vintage route, I have found some awesome 40's/menswear looking trousers at the thrift store!

Thank you for your sweet comment Dakota! :) It's been very misty here! We had to walk home in the foggy dark after that wee walk! Ohh I love your posts! That last picture is perfect! Her shoes, trousers and coat! She looks warm! :) Zoë x

Oh what glorious photos Dakota!! I gave up on jeans nearly a year ago, yep, packed them away in lieu of frocks, skirts, proper trousers and leggings. I'm looking forward to seeing how you style your trousers this winter:) xo
